there great.

berg shifter shifts in 0.4 of a sec and now i shift in 0.2 with the MSE shifter. once you get used to it cant imagine using anything else. its even good on the street.


You can buy the MSE directly from the guy that makes it.

His name is Bill Gundrum,
         Moyer Station Enterprises
         581 Moyer,s Station Road
         Schuylkill Haven, Pa.  17972-9035
         570-754-7209

Martin, how does it work on the street, with downshifting etc? I wanted to run one but a few people said you can't really downshift with them?

you just go the oposite way! lol, if your running pro rings, then i just blip the throttle and in it goes, just like on a bike.

... it works great ...

Does seem to. Speaking of which you need to change that 10.84 @ 126mph n/a bit under your name on the left there, it's somewhere in the region of 5/10ths out!

No revers leaver,you just push the button on the top of the shifter,the bottom slot is revers.

its getting a little shaby now, might pull it apart over winter and re-do it. there are a few area's i' know i can make better........


then again, might go for a larger turbo and kick the crap out of it! lol
